A newly reformed Cortijo with beautiful views in the heart of the Alpujarras.

The "no expense spared" reform of this large Cortijo has resulted in a wonderful family home. There are grand walled terraces with magnificent views perfect for entertaining and wiling away the long summer days.

The cortijo has been architect designed and the property has been made as ecologically friendly as possible.

A large and light entrance hall is accessed through a pair of antique wooden doors, there is a window with views out to the terrace. From here an archway leads to the kitchen which is fitted and has craftsman made wooden doors, and a large window overlooking the terrace and to the magnificent views to the mountains in the distance. (Makes washing up a breeze!!!!)

There is a further archway from the entrance hall leading to the dining area which is situated in what was the old bodega, this large and impressive space is open from the kitchen making a large L shaped kitchen dining room. There is also a well proportioned walk in pantry/ utility room leading from the dining area.

A craftsman made wooden door to the right of the entrance hall gives access to the large lounge which is light and airy with a woodburner for the colder winter days. There is glass block window to the right of the woodburner which allows light in but gives privacy from the neighbouring property. A further larger window gives views to the terrace and the Sierra Nevada mountains. All of the windows in this property open fully with no central wooden frame to spoil the views. A ceramic tiled staircase leads to the galleried landing with window overlooking the terrace.

To the right hand side at the top of the staircase is the master suite; comprising of large dressing room with window and stainless steel chimney running up through the corner of the room which very cleverly gives of heat in the winter months to keep clothing well aired. A doorway to the right is to a large fully tiled bathroom with full size bath with shower over, seperate fully tiled shower cubicle with power shower fitted, basin with mirrored vanity unit with spot lamps over , bidet and toilet.

The master bedroom has a window with magnificent views to the highest peak in Spain "Mulhacen" which is snow capped for nine months of the year, and a shaded terrace with panoramic views to the Alpujarras and the white villages and the Sierra Nevada mountain range usually snow capped from October to June.

Across the galleried landing are the guest bedrooms which comprises of two double bedrooms, one with mountain views and the other with a roof window allowing your guest to lay in bed and look at the incredible constellations of stars ( for which the Alpujarras are well known, there are many private observatories in this area). There is a spacious tiled bathroom with full size bath complete with overbath shower, washbasin with vanity unit over and spot lights and toilet. There is a lovely guest sitting room with window offering the same wonderful views in the guest area where guests can relax, this could also be useful if equipped with a sofa bed for further unexpected guest accomodation, or as a study office ( as the current owners use it) .
